Liposuction (Body Contouring), Houston TX

Liposuction, also known as liposculpture or “lipo”, is a surgical cosmetic
procedure that targets stubborn fat deposits by using a cannula under negative
pressure to suction out the fat.

Considered by some to be just a “procedure,” liposuction is real surgery. As such,
it can be routinely performed in an extremely safe environment in which Dr.
Bonnor, a double board-certified cosmetic surgeon, ensures that the medical
care of each patient is at the forefront.

During liposuction, a small incision is used to remove fat, helping achieve
aesthetically pleasing contours. We can target most areas such as the breasts,
arms, abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, legs, neck, and chin.

Dr. Bonnor is an expert in the newest liposuction technology known as bodytite
lipo which is comprised of liposuction and the application of radiofrequency
energy to achieve both fat removal and skin tightening.

Liposuction: What to Expect

During a consultation, we will evaluate your concerns and help set realistic
expectations about what liposuction can achieve for you. Liposuction is not a
cure for cellulite. It can, however, smooth fat in targeted areas. Liposuction is also
not a treatment for obesity or excess weight, and it’s important to be within a
healthy weight range.

Typically, patients are within 15 to 20 pounds of their targeted healthy body
weight. The surgical procedure generally takes one to several hours to perform
and is often an outpatient procedure. Liposuction can be combined with other
surgeries and treatment, such as mommy makeovers and body-contouring
procedures such as arm-lifts (Brachioplasty), and
abdominoplasty (tummy tucks).

Maximizing the Long-Term Benefits

Liposuction reduces fat deposits but should not be used for weight management.
Results are permanent for patients that maintain a healthy weight. We strongly
recommend that patients maintain a healthy diet and exercise to optimize the
long-term impact of liposuction.

BodyTite Liposuction or FaceTite Liposuciton is an
advanced minimally invasive permanent fat removal
and skin tightening treatment. It uses radiofrequency-assisted
liposuction (RFAL) for effective fat removal and cellulite
reduction with noticeable skin tightening effects. The
procedure can provide 30% to 40% more skin tightening
than traditional liposuction treatment. A young, healthy
person with good quality skin may experience good skin
contraction after the procedure.

Conventional liposuction alone does not provide any skin tightening benefits.
This being stated, there is an increased possibility of
dimpling or sagging after the procedure, particularly
with older patients who have lost skin elasticity.

BodyTite or FaceTite device has two probes that work
simultaneously heating the entire soft-tissue matrix
and melting the fat via the temperature controlled
radio-frequency technology. The heat generated tightens
the skin quickly and coagulates the tissues. BodyTite
liposuction can provide noticeable skin tightening effects,
especially for those who are left with sagging skin
or loose skin after traditional liposuction.
